The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

Feng Yigao sat on the dragon chair, and the civil and military ministers entered the hall in two shifts.

"kneel!"

With a loud singing, the officials paid homage to the emperor.

"rise!"

All the ministers stood up and stood in silence.

The hall was quiet, Feng Yi stared at the crowd without saying a word, after a brief silence, a tense atmosphere began to spread.

Meng Jiuchang sang loudly, "Let's play if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do."

After announcing the matter again, one of the ministers walked out of the ranks and said in a loud voice: "Your minister has played! Chen Shen Zhenbei Wang is not upright, acts recklessly, makes friends with other officials, and has wrong intentions, please the emperor to see clearly!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes immediately fell on King Zhenbei, and he saw that King Zhenbei glared at the matter, and then he came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. The old minister is dedicated to the country. During this campaign, he never violated the laws of the country, nor did he wantonly make friends with other officials, since Mr. Zhang impeached the king, he should show evidence, did he think that you can say what you say with your mouth?"

"Why does the king of Zhenbei pretend to be confused by pretending to understand? I heard that the prince of Zhenbei's mansion and the eldest son of Zuoxiang's mansion are engaged. Isn't this evidence?"

Since civil and military affairs are relatively light, there are very few marriages between civil servants and military generals, especially the king of Zhenbei and the left minister are both important officials in the court, so the marriage of the two families is naturally of great importance.

As for the marriage, spit was flying all over the court, and the left and right assistants ended one after another. Civil servants and military generals already had deep grievances. At this time, because of the marriage, the anger was ignited, and the eyes were burned red, and the reason was burned. Rolled up their sleeves and fought for 300 rounds in the court, the scene was quite exciting.

When Song Yunzhao got the news, they left early in the morning, but they were still too shocked to speak for a long time.

She did not expect that the marriage between Zhenbei Wangfu and Zuoxiangfu would cause such a big commotion.

This unavoidably made her think deeply. Civil and martial arts are the opposite of each other. She had this concept in her mind, but before today's incident, she did not expect such a big conflict.

Impeach King Zhenbei for marriage with Zuo Xiangfu?

No matter how you look at it, it's a joke, but if you dig deeper, in the final analysis, the right minister can't tolerate more left ministers, and the in-laws of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion have an extra powerful arm.

This marriage must have been prevented before this, but it must have been unsuccessful, so this was directly impeached in the court.

Left and right, this is going to tear your face apart.

So what should she do?

She must not miss such a great opportunity.

She tried her best to think about the plot in the book, but in the book, all the battles in the court were mentioned in one word, and it mainly talked about the heroine's promotion journey in the harem.

She vaguely remembered that after Qin Xiyue had an affair with Concubine Lu, the Prime Minister had impeached the Grand Tutor, which made Qin Xiyue have a difficult time in the palace.

Later, the heroine fought back and caught the handle of the right minister. What is the handle of the right minister?

The more Song Yunzhao became anxious, the more he couldn't remember it, which made her mad.

Xiangxue and the others saw that the master was in a bad mood, and they didn't dare to speak easily for a while, for fear of disturbing the master's thoughts.

right!

Song Yunzhao remembered that this year Qiu Wei, the right minister, also served as the chief examiner, and leaked the exam questions to make huge profits. This matter was done very secretly, and it was not revealed by the heroine until a few years later.

This year's autumn...

There are two candidates in her family. If the test questions are leaked to the right minister, wouldn't the other candidates be in bad luck?

But it's not yet Qiuwei, even if she knows, she can't expose the matter, after all, it hasn't happened yet.

Song Yunzhao's mood at the moment is really sour, but since he has already remembered this matter, he can start working ahead of time.

Her cousin and cousin-in-law both wanted to make a good impression in front of the imperial court and stand out from the candidates. This big crisis was also a good opportunity to step up to the sky.

Song Yunzhao's mind was spinning rapidly. If she had to wait for a step-by-step promotion, she would get the Year of the Monkey. Now that such a good opportunity was presented to her, of course she had to seize it.

Song Yunzhao's heart jumped up and down, excited.

This matter needs to be well planned, only relying on the eldest uncle and father is not enough, and you have to find helpers.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be Qiu Wei, and there is not much time left for him.

At this time, candidates from all over the country have already gone to Beijing to wait for the exam, so the exam questions should already be in operation.

This matter is very important, she can't write the letter, if the letter falls into other people's hands, it will be very detrimental to her, but she just met her eldest aunt a few days ago, and she can't let her enter the palace again this time.

"Call Anshun."

"Yes." Xiangxue immediately responded and turned to teach Anshun.

Anshun came very quickly, and saluted as soon as he entered the hall, "I have seen the master, what is the master's order?"

Song Yunzhao looked at Anshun and said: "Autumn is coming, my cousin and cousin-in-law have to refer to it, I am very worried, you go out of the palace to inquire about the situation of this year's autumn, you must inquire carefully and seriously."

Anshun immediately said, "Yes."

"Go." Song Yunzhao waved his hand, Anshun is a smart man, he must be able to find out something.

As long as he can find out the clues, it will be easy for her here.

She found that she was really lucky. This year, there was someone in the family to refer to, otherwise, there would be no good chance for the matter to be exposed.

After arranging the matter, Song Yunzhao was in a good mood, and called Madam Yu to ask, "Is there any result in the impeachment of King Zhenbei?"

Mammy Yu shook her head, "There is no news from Mr. Zhang, so it should take a few days before this matter happens."

Song Yunzhao nodded slightly, the more violent the disturbance, the better. In this way, the courtiers would not be able to care about the outside affairs, which happened to be convenient for her.

She had always wanted to help, but she found that she had neglected someone. Isn't it the emperor who most wanted to eradicate dissidents in the court?

If she really finds the evidence and directly asks the emperor to be his assistant, wouldn't she be able to help the emperor eliminate dissidents in a legitimate way?

Thinking of this, Song Yunzhao's heart beat violently for a moment.

The heart of the emperor who wants to conquer is no longer the most useful thing to assist him in winning the real power that originally belonged to the emperor.

However, you have to think carefully about how to do it, you can't get You Pang to go down, and let the emperor feel jealous of her.

Tsk.

It's hard to be a good person.

With this major event on his head, the emperor hadn't entered the harem for several days because of the impeachment, and Song Yunzhao couldn't care less about it. Anshun went out of the palace every day these days, but he couldn't find any useful news. Time did not dare to show up in front of Jieyu.

After much deliberation, Anshun decided to find Mr. Song and his master's cousin, Mr. Zhong.

Ever since the master said that there was someone at home for reference, Anshun had found out who the reference was. Now he has no clue, but as a student preparing for the exam, he might know something he didn't know.

Anshun went to find someone, but he didn't expect that Mr. Zhong hadn't arrived in Beijing yet, so he had to go to Song Xinran first.

This is the first time Song Yanran saw Anshun, and he was startled when he heard that he was the steward next to his cousin, "But what does Jieyu want?"

Anshun smiled and said: "Eldest Young Master, don't worry, the Master knows that the Eldest Young Master needs to refer to it, so he specially asked the servants to come over and see if the Young Master needs any help."

Song Yanran was suspicious, thought about it seriously, and then shook his head, "Everything is well prepared at home, and I asked my father-in-law to convey it on my behalf. Jieyu, please don't worry."

Anshun hurriedly responded, and then said: "My lord, have you had any contact with the candidates who came to Beijing for the exam recently? Autumn is approaching, so you should relax and go out for a walk."

Song Yanran frowned slightly, what does Yun Zhao mean?

Could it be that she knew something, but couldn't say it clearly?

Song Yuran was suspicious, looked at Anshun and asked, "Does Jieyu have any other instructions?"

Anshun shook his head, then said with a smile: "If something happens to the eldest son, let someone send a message to the servant." He handed him a waist card and told him how to contact him.

Song Yanran hesitated for a moment or took it, nodding in response.

After seeing off Anshun, Song Yanran put away his badge and waited until today's class was over before going to the backyard to meet his mother.

The eldest lady was busy with Song Hongjiao's dowry, and the dowries of several daughters had been prepared long ago, so there were naturally differences between the concubine and concubine, but with Yun Zhao's reward, Hongjiao's dowry was very respectable.

I checked the dowry list in the past two days, and Hongjiao will be getting married in a few days, so these few days are really busy.

Hearing his son came to greet him, the eldest lady was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly let him in, and said with a smile: "Is this from the school?"

Song Yuran nodded, "Yes, my son has something to discuss with his mother."

Seeing her son's solemn expression, the eldest lady asked all the servants around to retreat, and then said: "What happened? Qiu Wei is right in front of you. If you have something to say, you must tell your mother, and you must not hide it."

Song Yuran knew the seriousness, nodded slightly, and then said: "Today, Jieyu sent the stewards around her to see her son..."

After listening to her son's words, the eldest lady didn't understand what Yun Zhao was going to do for a while, she thought about it carefully and said, "If that's the case, then you should go out for a walk more, brother-in-law and sister will be here in two days, you will Find out more about the exam, so you can talk to your brother-in-law at that time. Perhaps Jieyu was worried that you only know how to study behind closed doors, so she reminded you to go out and look around."

Hearing that what his mother said was the same as what he thought, Song Yanran nodded, and then said: "Eunuch An gave the waist card to his son, and if something happens, he can let him know."

The eldest lady's eyebrows jumped, her face became more serious, she looked at her son and said, "When you go out, you must bring a long-term follower with you, at least two."

Song Yuran felt that his mother was making a big fuss, but in order not to worry her, he nodded and agreed, "Then son will take a few days off from his husband first?"

"I'll tell." The eldest lady said, "Speaking of which, the candidates who came to Beijing to rush for the exam should all live near the Gongyuan. Let someone go and inquire about it first, and you can go there tomorrow."

Song Yanran agreed, seeing his mother got up and said goodbye without any other orders.

After watching her son leave, the eldest lady always felt that things were not easy. That child Yunzhao had always been cautious in doing things, but now she let Paran get in touch with Juzi more, there must be her intentions.

However, Yun Zhao didn't say anything, that is, this matter cannot be clearly stated, but what is it?

The eldest lady was anxious, and she didn't dare to show it just now because she was afraid of affecting her son. Her husband was not around and no one discussed it. Worry. Mother Qian, ask your husband and son to inquire about this year's Qiuwei, the more carefully the better. Especially in the place where the sons gather, listen more, see more and ask more."

Mother Qian didn't think too much about it, thinking that the eldest lady was only worried about the matter of the eldest son and eldest uncle Qiu Wei, and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, the old servant will let me in charge of the house to inquire carefully, and I will never miss the matter."

The eldest lady nodded, "Go."

After Mama Qian retired, the eldest lady decided to go back to her mother's house after much deliberation.

Yun Zhao is not a troublesome person, and asking the stewards around her to go to see Yue Yue instead of coming to see her, it means that she doesn't want more people to know about this matter, and there must be something unspeakable about it.

But she didn't know much information, so she went back to her mother's house to inquire about it.

Since Yun Zhao didn't want people to know, she naturally wouldn't mention her at her natal home. Fortunately, her son-in-law was coming to Beijing, so it wouldn't be abrupt for her to go back and ask about Qiu Wei.

The eldest lady changed her clothes and took people out, and unexpectedly saw Mrs. Cai coming this way, she frowned, she really didn't want to see her, but she couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to.

Seeing the lady's attire, Cai asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, are you going out so late?"

The eldest lady nodded slightly, "The third brother and sister are here at this time, what's the matter?"

Seeing the indifferent expression of the eldest lady, Mrs. Cai was unhappy in her heart when she spoke in a concealed manner, and she couldn't help showing a little bit on her face, and said lightly: "The marriage between Qinghan and Marquis Wuxin's mansion has been decided. I will go to Marquis Wuxin's mansion to measure the room, so I will discuss with my sister-in-law who should go."

Wealthier families will prepare a house full of furniture for their daughters, such as tables, chairs, benches, beds, etc., so it is necessary to measure the size, so as not to be too big or too small to look good and lose face.

For example, Song Lirong and Song Hongjiao did not have such furniture for their dowry. Although the Song family has a good family background, they have many children. They not only marry their daughters but also their daughters-in-law, so the eldest lady can't prepare the dowry of concubine daughters like legitimate daughters.

The Cai family knew about preparing these great ladies for Song Qinghan, but knowing that Gui knew it, she was still very disgusted in her heart, and didn't want to get involved in this matter, so she said directly: "Third siblings, Hongjiao's marriage was earlier than Qinghan's. It's because you're too busy, so the third sibling should watch and prepare for Qinghan's affairs. There are many capable people around you, no matter who goes there, they can handle it properly."

Mrs. Cai had expected that the eldest lady would not help, so she said: "Since sister-in-law said so, I can't force it. There is something I want to ask sister-in-law for help. I know that sister-in-law got a piece of high-quality suet jade a few days ago. I don't know if you can give it to me first, and I will find a good one and return it to my sister-in-law later."

Da Furen's expression became even uglier when she heard the words, she didn't expect that Mrs. Cai actually had the idea of ​​picking up that piece of jade, which she planned to ask a craftsman to make a pair of bracelets for Yun Zhao to send to Yun Zhao during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When she saw Yun Zhao these few times, she tossed and turned only a few bracelets on her hand. She was afraid that she would be ridiculed by the concubine for being too shabby, so she begged her mother's family to find this piece of jade. She didn't expect Cai to beat this piece of jade. idea.

The eldest lady suppressed her anger, looked at Cai, and said, "Third siblings, it's not that I don't want to give up, but that I want to use this piece of jade in a hurry. Qinghan's dowry is already rich enough, and I see you don't need to buy anything else for her." Yes. I still have something to do, so let’s take a step first, and the third brother and sister should go back earlier.”

The eldest lady left behind these words, and if she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would really embarrass Cai, and it would not look good if she made a fuss.

Mrs. Cai did not expect the eldest lady to refuse so simply, her complexion was black, she gritted her teeth and turned away.

Aunt Che soon got the news, and while she was rewarding the third master with clothes, she said to her daughter: "It must be the eldest lady who got the news, so I asked my wife to go to the eldest lady to ask for this piece of jade."

Song Jinxuan was also embroidering a purse with needlework. After Song Qinghan got married, it was her turn. After marriage, purses and handkerchiefs are common things, so prepare more, so her aunt made her do needlework in the house.

Hearing this, Song Jinxuan said angrily: "How dare you open your mouth like this. I look at Song Qinghan and now I really think that marrying into Marquis Wuxin's mansion will make her famous."

Aunt Che lowered her head, "After all, it's the Hou's Mansion, and it's really nice to marry there."

"I don't want this kind of scenery. If you enter the door, you will be a mother, and you will lose yourself." Song Jinxuan said unceremoniously, "The last time people from Wuxinhou's mansion came to our mansion, when the people who served Mrs. Hou talked in private, After being heard by others, people can say that it is impossible for the biological mother of the concubine to send it away. Now the promise is happy, but it is just a word of mouth."

Aunt Che raised her head and glanced at her daughter, "Don't say these things outside, as long as you know it in your heart."

"I won't say that when I went to my wife to say hello this morning, the way Song Qinghan looked at me made people feel uncomfortable, and she must have no good intentions. Auntie, you have to ask my father to make decisions about my marriage, or my wife will definitely sell it I."

"Don't worry, I have already told you about the master." Aunt Che lowered her head and said, "When the master comes back, I will ask the master to arrange a marriage for you quickly, and I will feel at ease when you get married. However, these You also suppress your temper every day, don't let Madam and Song Qinghan catch you, just bear it if you can."

"I know." Song Jinxuan responded with suppressed anger. Otherwise, what else can I do? If my father is not in Beijing, if my wife is really angered, she might do something.

Thinking of this, Song Jinxuan stopped the needle and thread in her hand, looked at her aunt and said, "Auntie, you said that Wu Xinhou's mansion is so anxious to let Song Qinghan marry, is there any other reason? Last time, why did the people around Mrs. Wu Xinhou be so sure? Won't the bastard's biological mother be kicked out?"

Aunt Che also froze for a moment when she heard her daughter's words, and looked up at her daughter, "I always thought that Marquis Wuxin's mansion was because of Jieyu's arranged marriage, and now hearing what you say, maybe it's not just because of this."

Song Jinxuan frowned in disgust, "Auntie has already said that Jieyu and Qinghan Song have already fallen out, but their marriage is still going on, and I also feel that something is wrong. But Auntie is a powerful person, and the news has already spread by now. Now, who doesn't know that Song Qinghan was sent out from the palace because she harmed the younger sister of a compatriot. Now that people outside know the truth, they won't blame Jieyu for not being a sister."

Aunt Che was thoughtful, she didn't hear her daughter's words for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "There is only one thing that can make Mrs. Wu Xinhou agree not to kick out the biological mother of the bastard."

"What's the matter?" Song Jinxuan asked.

"It must be that girl's belly again."

Song Jinxuan was startled, "Auntie, you can't say that nonsense."

Aunt Che snorted, "I've been your father's concubine for so many years, even though I gave birth to your siblings, I'm still a servant in the Song family. That maidservant of the Hou's mansion must be a powerful one, who gave birth to the eldest son If she can protect her, if she doesn't know that if the mistress enters the door, she will be an eyesore, and she will definitely be kicked out to prevent the new madam from getting in the way."

Song Jinxuan had never encountered such a thing before, but after hearing what Auntie said, she actually felt that it made sense.

"If you want to keep her, you can only conceive another one. For the sake of the child in your womb, I will keep her." Aunt Che muttered to herself, "Then the prince of the Hou family must like her very much. With this child, we can keep her in front of Mrs. Hou. Otherwise, why did Mrs. Hou choose Song Qinghan to enter the house? "

Song Jinxuan was taken aback for a while.

Aunt Che laughed, "I said that there was something wrong with the people who watched Wu Xinhou's mansion that day, and now I finally understand."

"Auntie, this is just our speculation, it may not be true."

Aunt Che disapproved, "The life of being a concubine is not worth anything. If you want to keep yourself, you have to rely on your stomach and love. The birth mother of the concubine in Marquis Wuxin's mansion is also very powerful. Just look, Song Qinghan married her." Definitely not having a good time."

Aunt Che was happy when she thought about it, and said to Song Jinxuan: "You must be well-behaved in front of Madam these few days, and if Song Qinghan deliberately provokes troubles, you must also bear with her, and she must marry smoothly. I will wait to see them Let's just watch the days when mother and daughter cry in the future."

Seeing the fire in Auntie's eyes, Song Jinxuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, you can't do anything. Jieyu is very concerned about her younger brother's studies now, and she will surely have a bright future in the future. If you do anything to implicate me As for my younger brother, with Jieyu's temperament, I will definitely not care about it."

When Aunt Che heard her daughter's words, the fire in her eyes went out instantly. What a pity, she still wanted to add to the fire.

"Forget it, Auntie will listen to you and do nothing." Aunt Che said.

Only then did Song Jinxuan feel relieved, "When I find a chance to see my younger brother, I will remind him."

Aunt Che shook her head, "Your younger brother is now studying with the head of the house, which is much better than before. Let's not see him often, or Madam will be unhappy if he finds out. If it makes things difficult for him, we can't do anything if your father is not around."

Song Jinxuan also sighed and nodded wearily.

She only hoped that her younger brother would be successful in his studies in a few years and come back as a Jinshi. Only then could she and her aunt really stand up.

Aunt Che comforted her daughter, but she secretly went to see the eldest lady at night. She couldn't do anything, but the eldest lady could.

Happy weekend, six thousand words, thank you for your support.
